First booking made............Ford Fiesta for 31 days May/June €116 after my "members discount" which roughly works out at £84.........no complaints :)

If it gets any cheaper I will cancel and rebook............but I doubt it will.

Hi All,

Thanks for the info re Hire cars with Do You Spain.
I made a reservation some weeks back.

It is with Solmar for a week for €55, which I think is a really good deal.
Does anybody have any experience of using Solmar? (as we have only used centaura, Goldcar, Record in the past)
Is getting to/from the Solmar office  fairly straightforward?

I have received the following instruction:
On arrival at the airport, please proceed to the bus station located on floor -2 of arrivals. You will be met by a representative of SOLMAR RENT A CAR located at bus stops 27-29. You will be taken to the SOLMAR RENT A CAR office located a short distance from the airport.

Thanks,
Brandon

Same procedure as Dickmans, Drivalia and some others, you may have up to 10 mins to wait at the bus stop while the minibus does the circuit, otherwise straightforward enough.

John, worth another look, my group BC was 143 euros on 22.2.15, now 51 euros today  :) - for 20 days - changes made, needless to say.

Hi puddy-woo I'm still using Record, the last few cars I've had off them have been very good.
If you join their "club" you accumulate points which knock money off future bookings.
Do You Spain have some excellent prices for early May bookings at the moment

Spurs, following your advice must have saved me about £350 in the last twelve months, it's more than three pints I owe you

   Hi John
       I see you take out the insurance with  insurance4hirecar,
       on Record they recommend questor ,as I was thinking of
      taking one of these policy out I was wondering which one
    is the best bet or are they all the same.
     Thank you for any input

Hi mushte, a few of the posters on The Plaza recommended insurance4carhire, I did a quick check on them on the Internet and the reviews were very good......hence I bought a policy
I haven't had to make a claim yet, I hope I never do!!

John

I made a claim last year with insurance 4 car hire and found them very good, they need copies of all documents including receipts for any money paid. Just to add the claim was for a 1 inch scratch on an alloy wheel,not on the rim but near the hub centre im still convinced it was already there but who checks there car in such detail on collection Drivalia knew i had the excess policy and rightly stated to claim the 100 euro charge back, 7 months on im still waiting for the promised copy of the bill from Drivalia to repair the scratch.

I always go round the car and take lots of photos of the wheels and any marks visible at the time of booking, I make sure they see me doing it too.
